The team headed toward the island not sure what they would find when they arrived.
Let me put it this way: If they’d been told, they wouldn’t have believed it, anyway. So it was just as well that we left them in the dark. But I’ll admit that it made for a nasty surprise.
Give them credit, they handled the mutants well once they got over the initial shock. Shame they couldn’t wipe all of them out, isn’t it? They put quite a dent in the population, though – a good start.
And credit to you. You put together an almost perfect team. Do it again – same level of smarts and tenacity but with better aim.
